The Thanksgiving holiday weekend came to a wild end at the Los Angeles International Airport.

The series of events began near the airport when police chased two robbery suspects.
A shootout between the suspects and police killed one suspect, and injured a L-A officer.
The second suspect carjacked a vehicle and led police on ANOTHER chase that ended at the airport.
Police shot the suspect in the head, as he tried to flee into a terminal.

[Falwell-Protest]

Reverend Jerry Falwell had some unwanted attention outside his church yesterday.
Reverend Fred Phelps and about 20 members of his Topeka Kansas church held an anti-gay protest outside.
Phelps said he does not agree with Falwell's view that Christians should hate sin but love the sinner.
A Falwell spokesman called the protest absurd and hateful.
Phelps drew notice last month when he led an anti-gay protest at the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who died after being beaten.
